After a one-month voting period, The West Ham Way, ExWHUEmployee and WestHamFanTV have been nominated for The Best New Football Blog, Best Social Football Account, and Best Video Football Blog respectively.

Anthony Cooper, Co-Founder of the Football Blogging Awards, said: “The competition across all categories in this year’s awards is incredibly fierce, so these three blogs should be proud of just getting this far. The standard of football blog journalism is continuing to improve, and all of the finalists are worthy winners for their total dedication to their craft. It’s going to be a close call as to who comes out on top!”
